Consider these statements written in ordinary language:
A The speed of the car is proportional to the distance it has traveled.
B The car is speeding up.
C The car is slowing down.
D The car always travels the same distance in the same time interval.
E We are driving backwards.
F Our acceleration is decreasing. Denoting by s(t) the distance covered by the car at time t, and letting k denote a constant, match these statements with the following mathematical statements by entering the letters A through F on the appropriate boxes:
s′′<0.
s′ is constant
s′<0
s′′′<0
s′′>0
s′=ks

Answer 1

s''<0 (F)

s' is constant (D)

s'<0 (E)

s''<0 (C)

s''>0 (B)

s'=ks (A)
